The 3rd degree burns were very painful to his scalp & started his pain pill addiction. He didn't even want to do the Pepsi Commercial to begin with, he only did it because his mother asked him too for the sake of his brothers needing money. He didn't drink pepsi products & he didn't feel right about endorsing a product he didn't like. Well he did the commercial & look what it got him, it really burned him bald on top. He ended up with a settlement for this 1.5 million dollars but donated all of it to Charity. He was a good guy with a soft heart.
